Max has trouble taking Lorelai's laid-back attitude to parenting seriously.
6

10
11	!!Tropes
12	* AmbiguouslyJewish: Luke makes Lorelai a chuppah. Lorelai asks if it's offensive to God if she and Max aren't Jewish.
13	* BigEater: Rory and Lorelai's tendency toward this baffles Max.
14	* BlatantLies:
15	** Kirk claims he's wearing flesh-colored speedos in his nude photos. He's not.
16	** Rory claims to be eighteen to get into a night club. And being an international supermodel. Very big in Germany.
17	** Sookie makes one up as an excuse for breaking her own rule not to call your boyfriend at the bachelorette party.
18	* CallBack: Lorelai tells Sookie she is not going to [[Recap/GilmoreGirlsS02E02 wear a veil at the wedding]], so she can't wear one at the bachelorette party.
19	* CaptainObvious:
20	** Lorelai threatens to punch Christopher, who responds by pointing out that they're on the phone.
21	** Lorelai comments that no one has made her a chuppah before, and Luke points out that that's because she's never gotten married before.
22	** Emily points out that if you invite someone to a place at eight o' clock, you should also be there at eight o' clock.
23	* CastingGag: The lie about Rory being a model is not completely implausible, as Alexis was one before becoming an actress.
24	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
25	** Fran takes Lorelai's joke that she doesn't look a day over 106 seriously.
26	** Sookie wants to cook for the bachelorette party. Lorelai explains that you only drink at a bachelorette party.
27	* {{Cult}}: Lorelai suggests forming one around Max after he demonstrates sacred knowledge about the broiler.
28	* TheCynic: Luke is not fond of weddings. Or the concept of marriage.
29	* EmbarrassingNickname: Rory says she'll call her mother Funny Bottoms.
30	* GodwinsLaw: Luke thinks Stars Hollow is like Hitler's Germany, in that Taylor tells them they want a street light button and gives them one and expects them to be thankful.
31	* ItsAllAboutMe: Max accidentally let's it slip that he ''has'' noticed that Lorelai is this trope.
32	* {{Manchild}}: Lorelai has never been terribly mature, but in this one she really lets her inner child out.
33	* NoLongerWithUs: Max calls and says he's in the hospital because his brother tried to jump over a parking meter. [[DeadlyEuphemism He didn't make it.]] He claims parking meters are shorter where he lives.
34	* RuleOfThree: Rory only has three quotes to pick from for the ''Franklin''.
35	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness:
36	** Rory has a lot of ways to describe how Lorelai has avoided talking about something.
37	** Lorelai observes that people who drank copiously the night before do not use words like "copiously".
38	* ShoutOut:
39	** Rory asks Lorelai for help in deciding whose quote to use in the ''Franklin'': Creator/SinclairLewis, Creator/LordByron, or UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini.
40	** They watch ''Film/BillyJack''.
41	** Dean and Rory agree to watch ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' and ''Film/LifeOfBrian'' since there are no good movies in the theatre.
42	** Lorelai feels their lives are gonna mutate like the giant ants in ''Film/{{Them}}''.
43	** Lorelai feels Rory is kind of like the robot kid in ''[[Film/AIArtificialIntelligence A.I.]]'', but less mom obsessed.
44	** The server at the nightclub dresses like Creator/MaeWest.
45	** Miss Patty tells the girls how her first and fourth husband, Sinjin, was her Creator/RichardBurton and she was his Creator/ElizabethTaylor.
46	** Christopher guesses that since Lorelai doesn't want to talk about Max's music collection it's probably stuff like Music/TheBeatles, Music/BobDylan, Music/AlanisMorissette, Matthew Lewis, Music/BuenaVistaSocialClub and Music/{{Enya}}.
47	** The only people who could be worthy of Lorelai are [[Music/{{U2}} Bono]], Bryan Ferry, and Music/TomWaits.
48	** Michel ended up on a table with guys dressed as Music/CelineDion and Music/JanetJackson.
49	** Hungover Sookie and Lorelai aren't sure if it's WesternAnimation/YogiBear or [[UsefulNotes/HistoricalPeopleToKnowInMLB Yogi Berra]].
50	** Rory has lost Lorelai's place in the Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette biography she borrowed.
51	* TakeThat: Dean thinks it'd be weird to go on a double date with adults, but Rory reassures him that it's not adults it's Lorelai and Max.
52	* WritersCannotDoMath: Rory and Dean claim they got together the first time on the 24th (of October), despite the fact that Dean made it clear on [[Recap/GilmoreGirlsS01E16 the three-month anniversary]] that it was on Founder's day, which is on the 14th of January, which is easy to check since it's an actual American Revolution holiday.
